Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 309 Supergravity Fire Release

"Earth Escape..."

Bang... Several Cloud Village ninjas with quick reaction speed instantly released an earthen barrier to resist, but it was useless, as it shattered upon contact with the sea of ​​flames.

In an instant, the heavy sea of ​​flames engulfed the Cloud Village ninjas who rushed in before they could react.

There were no screams!

There was not a single voice of resistance!

The fiery current swept through the area like lava from a volcanic eruption, engulfing everything. The Cloud Village ninjas were like roadside weeds, not even causing a ripple.

In fact, most people in the ninja world are still within the normal range of strength.

Chakra levels limit most people's ninjutsu abilities; ninjutsu has never been the sole criterion for determining an individual's strength.

Combining ninjutsu with taijutsu is the common fighting style in the ninja world.

Only in this way can we wage a protracted war.

The White Fang of Konoha, the Yellow Flash of Konoha, the Third Raikage, and others all used this fighting style.

If the Third Raikage kept his Lightning Release Chakra Mode active, his chakra would probably run out in half an hour, let alone three hours.

Therefore, battles between ninjas in the ninja world are generally based on taijutsu, and very few people actually use ninjutsu to kill others.

Only in close combat, in brief moments of exchange, is it easiest to determine the winner.

Using ninjutsu gives people more time to react, and those skilled in taijutsu can react in time, either to respond or to dodge it.

This is how the famous theory that fire-style techniques can't kill people came about.

Only Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who piloted Gundams, could use ninjutsu to fight each other.

But such people are few and far between.

Most people in the ninja world fight their enemies in close combat, and they generally believe that close combat is where life and death are decided.

Fire Release is a ninjutsu that can burn people, but it is difficult to kill them.

This is their understanding.

However, today, now, the group of Iwagakure ninja who came with the Earth Release clone - Ishii have had their understanding overturned.

Earth Release Clone - Ishii's ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu instantly annihilated more than fifty Cloud Village ninjas, including at least one Jonin.

Rumble... The Earth Release clone - Rock Rock's Fire Release technique crushed everything in its path like lava from a volcanic eruption.

soon.

The flames disappeared, and what appeared before the group of Iwagakure ninjas was a scorched ground that had sunk ten meters, covering a range of one kilometer in front of them.

The Iwagakure ninja were stunned by the horrific scene of destruction.

Is this still the Fire Release ninjutsu they know?

When did ordinary fire-style ninjutsu become so terrifyingly destructive?

"Go, leave no one alive."

Earth Release Clone - Ishii's command brought the Iwagakure ninjas back to their senses from the shock.

"Yes, Lord Ishii!"

The Iwagakure ninja responded with excitement, then immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to rush forward and chase after the remaining people in the Kumogakure base.

call!

Earth Release clone - Ishii followed behind, his breathing heavy and his body feeling tired.

The Mass Technique is very powerful, but it also consumes a lot of chakra.

The reason why the Fire Release ninjutsu was so powerful was that the Earth Release clone, Ishii, infused the Fire Release ninjutsu with a large amount of Earth Release Mass Technique chakra, giving the Fire Release: Katsuhiko-sama's fiery ocean a virtual mass and virtual density of 500,000 tons.

This is why ordinary fire-style ninjutsu possesses such terrifying destructive power, which even ten people's water-style ninjutsu cannot weaken.

With such immense power, the amount of chakra consumed is naturally also extraordinary.

This fire jutsu... no, strictly speaking, the ninjutsu just now was a combination ninjutsu - Supergravity Fire Release: Hard Head.

This combination ninjutsu completely drained 70% of the chakra from the Earth Release clone, Shi Yan.

This clone has ordinary bloodline and average chakra reserves; its only advantage is its decent ninjutsu talent.

Even with the development of the terrifying Earth Release: Mass Technique, Ishii was unable to maintain his dominance over the ninja world and achieve the status of a ninja god.

To be honest, if Onoki had the same amount of chakra as Senju Hashirama, he might not necessarily be weaker than Senju Hashirama.

Fortunately, the chakra issue has been resolved with Earth Release: Rock Clone Technique.

Otherwise, he might end up like Onoki, possessing the Dust Release to destroy everything, but only able to be a real man for five seconds.

Earth Release clone - Ishii followed behind, not drawing upon the chakra stored within the sealing array to absorb the group's energy, as he did not wish to expose this ability.

So he just coasted through the subsequent chase.

The Iwagakure ninja who had witnessed that terrifying fire-style ninjutsu earlier would not look down on him because of it.

And so, after the Earth Release clone, Ishii, led a group of Iwagakure ninja behind him to successively break through several Kumogakure strongholds, the time came when a red glow appeared on the horizon.

After a night of counterattack, without the Third Raikage, and with most of the Iwagakure ninjas secretly mobilized by Onoki beforehand, they successfully annihilated most of the invading Kumogakure ninjas.

In the latter half of the night, after learning of the Third Raikage's death, Kumogakure lost all will to fight and ran towards the sea.

With this battle, the danger to Kumogakure was completely eliminated.

In the morning, Ishii, an Earth Release clone who was resting in a forest, received a message from Onoki.

Onoki returned to Iwagakure, and those transferred from the Sunagakure and Konoha battlefields also returned to their original battlefields to continue guarding against the enemy.

The battlefront of the Hidden Cloud Village was now entirely entrusted to the Earth Release clone, Ishii.

Onoki sent his Earth Release clone, Ishii, to the Land of Lightning, determined to make Kumogakure taste the bitterness of fighting within their own country.

"hehe!"

After reading the letter, Shi Yan, the Earth Release clone, smiled inwardly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

Let's go back!

The Wind Release clones had been waiting for a long time.

The Third Raikage is dead, and next up is the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

……

The Land of Birds, a small country sandwiched between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, has no ninja village of its own and has historically been a battlefield between the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village.

The small countries in Naruto are quite tragic. When two major powers are at war, the battlefield is not in the two major powers' territories, but in the territory of an unrelated small country.

It's no wonder that Nagato, who grew up in Amegakure, hated Konoha and the Five Great Nations so much.

Compared to Nagato, Naruto's so-called suffering was a blessing; he never went hungry and never experienced the fear of losing his life at any moment.

Naruto's pain was loneliness, while Nagato's pain was death and fear.

As to which one suffers more, well... that's a matter of opinion.

However, this wave of suffering was on Li Yao's side, standing with Nagato.

Li Yaofeng used his clone to fly all the way here. Everywhere he looked, there were ruins. The dilapidated villages were inhabited by homeless children and the elderly, all of them emaciated and with lifeless eyes.

This is what civilians living in constant war are like, living without hope, numb and desperate, just like what I saw in the Land of Rain.

Li Yaofeng's clones flew past indifferently; he still had no sense of belonging to this world.

The border between the Bird Country and the Earth Country.

After Li Yao used his Wind Release clones to transfer most of the Sand Ninja to the Land of Rivers, the Sand Ninja withdrew from the Land of Earth back to the Land of Birds, where they faced off against the Rock Ninja across the border. Small skirmishes continued between them, but both sides exercised restraint.

After all, neither side has many people left here, and starting a major war rashly could easily cause a huge chain reaction.

However, Iwagakure is alright; they'd love for Sand Village to restrain them.

The Sand Ninja were somewhat unwilling.

But they had no choice; Li Yaofeng had given orders through his clones, and they could only obey.

"Ugh!"

Inside a tent in the camp, Rasa looked at the intelligence coming from the land of Kawano. At first, he felt a little smug, but then he fell silent until he let out a long sigh.

Sasori of the Red Sand was defeated.

Scorching Release: Yoko was also severely injured.

Both were defeated by the same person.

The White Fang of Konoha, a terrifying man who made the Fourth Hokage famous throughout the ninja world by saving his life.

I never imagined it would still be so terrifying.

When Rasa first saw Sasori and Yekura defeated, he thought his chance had come. But when he saw that it was Konoha's White Fang, he fell silent, knowing that even if he took action, he would not be a match for Konoha's White Fang.
